Will Daniel Radcliffe Play Freddie Mercury?

The much buzzed about Freddie Mercury biopic has reportedly lost Sacha Baren Cohen as its attached star and is seeking to land Daniel Radcliffe as a replacement. Apparently, Sacha decided that Freddie wasn't "flamboyant enough" in the script, and decided to drop out of the project.

What people fail to realize is the range Mr. Radcliffe has in his acting, American audiences, at least mainstream, only know him as Harry Potter. Well, the man has played other parts... including his recent portrayal of Alan Ginsberg in "Kill Your Darlings". Not to mention the stage characters he's had the honor of playing. I think most people sell him short, because of his Harry Potter fame. Objectively we cannot allow his past to affect our view of the work when/if it's produced.

How tall was Freddie? I think Daniel's a great talent, don't get me wrong, but is he filled out enough for the part? Does he have that flexibility and range? That's what I am concerned with. Vocally, alone, it's going to be a challenge.
